About

The Avenue Hotel is located on Whanganui`s main central city road, only a 10-minute walk from the CBD with plenty of offstreet parking. The Avenue Hotel has gone through a significant refit and redecoration of the rooms in the hotel block over the past 6 months so we can offer new, renovated rooms. Over a 2 HA. area there are a lot of accommodations options from Family units, an Apartment, and new air conditioning units with parking outside of the rooms. The Avenue Hotel is well-placed to accommodate and cater to families, corporate groups, or everyday travelers. Unlimited Wi-Fi is provided. The Avenue is within easy reach of the Whanganui River and Virgina Lake with the national and city cycleway just around the corner. The town's arts and culture center and sports venues are close by as well. The Avenue Hotel has an outdoor seasonal inground swimming pool (not heated) with pretty gardens to relax in.

    Cons -

    • The external environment was run down .Horrendous instant coffee.
    • A bit outdated.
    • No aircon, stairs with luggage not safe & strenuous, no undercover parking got soaked in a downpour, staff barely acknowledged me during check in.... awful outlook from balcony. Just not a nice place at all.

    Location

    No air conditioning on hotest night ever.Needed attention to detail for cleaning. Not aware of major renovations in progress.

    7MeeganPosted on: 2-11-2026

    Super clean and spacious room and really quiet (had a room down the back)

    Bathroom and toilet a little dated, but was ok for our needs.

    7MathildePosted on: 2-11-2026

    Good location near city center, Carpark, spacious and clean rooms

    The shower was horrible and almost painful (maybe shower head needs to be changed ?)No common area as the bar is closed at the moment which we didn’t know when booking ..

    6PabloPosted on: 2-9-2026

    I liked the central location,

    Upon arrival it was evident that there is no air conditioning to the building, the corridors were stuffy and hot and the room was not much better. The lack of air conditioning in the room made for an umcomfortable night (even with the noisy fan runing all night and leaving the balcony door open.The location of the accomodation meant that everything is close by, however that is also a downfall as the guests who had parked next to us had their front windscreen smashed overnight by vandals/drunks. To make matters worse, there is no CCTV in the car park. By some miracle our rental car was unscathed.Due to renovations the restaurant was not available.

    The reception lady was really helpful, amd location of motel was great. Room was clean and presented well.

    There wasnt any air conditioning and it was a very warm night. There was a fan in the room thankfully and we were able to leave our door open all night.

    The location, have always stayed here when we visit whanganui. Shower was great, the bed was comfortable, we had booked the spa room, very spacious. Did not forget to use the pool, hopefully next time. Can't wait on the completion of the restaurant.

    Just the couch, seemed to have no softness.

    8JasminPosted on: 2-7-2026

    Modern, comfortable and a good size room.

    9TraciePosted on: 2-7-2026

    Access to all supermarkets. Easy check in and check out. We were on a motorbike and were invited to park it under cover which appreciated. Room was spacious, clean, tidy, well maintained. We were able to uber into town centre.

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    8KatharinePosted on: 2-6-2026

    Very good location, plenty of parking, very clean unit

    8EllePosted on: 2-5-2026

    That there was no traffic noise. Entrance was nice and clean.

    Other guests were quite noisy , slamming doors, baby crying. Will be much better if able to get meals.

    8LisaPosted on: 2-2-2026

    It was clean and comfy. Was great with the fan and kept the room cool. The pool was amazing!

    We booked for 4 ppl and we only had 3 towels, we had lots of flies in our room the whole stay, the cleaner made beds but didn’t clean bench or do dishes ( I didn’t know if that was their job tho?) our van, which was parked just across the lane from our room got broken into and the staff said to call police and they would get footage off their cameras but we never heard back from them at all, toilet was tiny and the bathroom didn’t have a door only a shower curtain between it and the kitchen.

    8WalkerPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Kids loved the poo and the lady at reception was so lovely and helpful she is a great asset to your team.

    Was very hot in the room, the fan was ok but didn't do much for the heat and found very short hair in strands in my clean made bed when pulling the sheets back to get into bed after a long day of travel

    4ClivePosted on: 1-30-2026

    Was a big room.

    Tv seemed worn out bad picture and room not great for access to cups was low down and shower over bath can be dangerous getting in and out.

    9JanePosted on: 1-30-2026

    We got shifted from avenue to their other property. The women that greeted us was awesome and after looking at us, she apologized for the small size of the room she was giving us. Would have been nice to have a bigger room but overall everything was fine.

    8MiamiPosted on: 1-26-2026

    Beds and pillows are comfortable, the breakfast is delish. The staff are nice and Thomas the cat is just the cutest

    Rooms had a weird smell I’m not sure if it was the toiletry products left and bathrooms could do with a deep clean

    9SimonPosted on: 1-23-2026

    Great service, central location and nice rooms with incredibly comfy beds. All at a fair price!
